100 Happy Days

Howdy and welcome to my little piece of blogland. I was looking at posts on InstaGram, and saw some photos people posted with the hash tag 100 happy days. Curiosity got the better of me, and I went looking to see what it was all about. Then I stumbled upon this web site: 100happydays.com

The challenge is relatively easy. Document what makes you happy every day for 100 days. Sounds fun, creative, challenging and enlightening. I registered yesterday with a start date for today.

Now, if you were to ask me if I were 'happy' I'm not too sure how I would answer. I mean, I'm not depressed, suffering, or euphoric either. But am I 'happy'? That's pretty hard for me to answer. I'm busy, I'm working 40/+ hours a week at a paying job, I'd love to have a raise, I exercise several days a week, I'm married to a man who isn't a douche bag or a theft, I have grandchildren who are energentic, I live comfortably, but am I happy? Uhm. I don't think anyone has asked me that. I find joy in creating: baking, sewing, crafting, accomplishing chores, interacting with my dog, and spending time with my family.

So, I am actually looking forward to this challenge. I want to find more joy in my life. I'd love to tell folks that I am happy. And I'd like to feel happy. But, I really want to find happiness in my life, and to acknowledge and 'see' the blessings I have. So, follow me on InstaGram, and look for my post with #100happydays. To see what makes me happy!
